The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Again, it is only under your value system that this behavior is "bad behavior."

Sure. If someone wants to have a values system where they believe that incarcerating criminals is wrong, they're welcome to that.

So WRT sanctuary systems, supporters believe it is better to let ___ illegal aliens who have criminal records avoid easy detention by ICE than to have _____ otherwise law-abiding illegal aliens end up getting their lives upended, for whatever values of those blanks.

Which, again, basically ignores the entirety of immigration laws we have in this country. The framework conveniently skips over that.

If the left wants amnesty, let the left come out and argue for amnesty. But it can't hide behind this you know, some of those illegals are ""innocent"" because they, regardless of your position on them, are in a sticky place in the law as it is written today.

So for the framework, you have to start with a definition of "guilty" vs. "innocent". Because *all* illegals are on the wrong side of the law (as written today).
